Overview
The Perfect Pick™ Solution
Opex Perfect Pick™ is a fast, compact and highly scalable automated aisle
storage and piece picking solution. Ultra-capacitor powered wireless iBOTs™
(Intelligent Robotic Wireless Vehicles) navigate along a track system
integrated within the storage rack. Every iBOT can access every location and
deliver trays or totes directly to pick stations at either end of the aisle. Aisle
throughputs are highly scalable up to 1000 dual cycles per hour.
Perfect Pick is a unique, automated, goods-to-man, picking solution that
achieves superior throughput in a self-contained aisle that relies on a single
component – the iBOT.
• Perfect Pick employs proven iBOT delivery technology to pick and stock
inventory simultaneously.
• Every iBOT has access to 100% of the inventory.
• iBOTs deliver totes or trays with precise sequencing directly to ergonomi-
cally designed pick stations located at one or both ends of the aisle at rates
up to 1000 dual cycles per hour.
• As ultra-capacitor powered iBOTs navigate along a track system integrated
within the storage rack, they capture regenerated energy.
• iBOTs operate on the principle of redundancy, so Perfect Pick has no single
point of failure.
• The iBOTs can be tilted for ergonomic picking.
WARNING: Read “Safety” on page 10 before attempting to operate this
equipment.
